I've had way too much going on to be on here as much and missed 5-10 pages I need to read back on. That said, not sure if this has been mentioned but the VI is generally great once you dial it in, but subsequent heat cycles can vary a bit where you need to take the indicator to before stopping depending on how hot you started. I'm not sure how the indicator compares to the actual temp of the balls but I tend to get a bit too dark of a roast for my liking more often than not trying to heat to a similar level of the first cycle.
It's pretty simple but if I'm looking to do multiple back to back cycles and reloads, I unscrew the cap and with it attached to the top of a Reload I just blow some long steady full breaths worth of air into the cap. It's not that difficult to do and I've yet to burn myself (*knocks on wood*) but a few big full lungs worth and the cap is down to more or less room temp and I can toss it in the Wand with the same settings to do the next cycle fully hands free and care free again. Start to finish for that added step is about 60-90 seconds for me, but worth it for the solid consistency on back to back cycles.
